1959 Porsche 356 A

The vehicle is in very good condition inside and out and has been fully restored. The mechanical components are in very good condition and have been completely overhauled and upgraded. It features an 1,840 ccm engine with an auxiliary oil cooler and a 4-speed manual transmission with modified gear ratios. The car was originally delivered by Glöckler in Frankfurt; the first owner, from California—or more precisely, Hollywood—took delivery of the car in Germany on July 8, 1959, and after a trip through Europe, had it shipped back to his home in the U.S. at the end of 1959. The 356 A Coupé was delivered in Silver Metallic 5706 with a red interior and a mechanical sunroof. On August 5, 2013, the Coupé was sold to Germany through a dealer in Costa Mesa, California, and on November 23, 2013, it was shipped to the Netherlands and then transported to Germany. A copy of the original U.S. title is available. The vehicle underwent a complete restoration at our facility between May 2015 and May 2017—the body was stripped using a dip tank, derusted, and given a KTL coating. The sheet metal work was carried out entirely in-house by our body shop to the highest standards; the paintwork was performed by Schulth, a paint shop that was considered the absolute expert on 356s at the time; the engine and transmission rebuilds were performed by Classic Power.

The vehicle in detail

We overhauled all axles, interior components, and body parts in-house and reassembled the vehicle. A new wiring harness was also installed as part of the restoration.

As part of the restoration, the brakes were upgraded to the “GT brake system” and a dual-circuit brake system.

The Speedster seat shells were extended and equipped with headrests; the interior is upholstered in genuine leather, and a period-correct Nardi steering wheel has been installed. As part of the engine overhaul, the displacement was increased to 1,840 ccm, the carburetors were modified accordingly, and a modified camshaft was installed.

Invoices are available for all work and parts, and these are additionally documented with photos. The costs for the purchase, restoration, and modifications amount to over €360,000, as verifiably documented. No corners were cut here—the result was always the top priority!

This 356 A Coupé has now been in use for nearly 10 years since its restoration and continues to impress on every drive.

Its looks, sound, and performance make our hearts race every single time, and the car’s scent is truly one-of-a-kind.

For anyone who has always wanted to fulfill their dream of owning a 356 but has been afraid of problems or insufficient performance, this is exactly the right car. Uncompromising and trouble-free!
